Why Subscribe?

College Towns is where urbanism and higher education meet. The articles here are all original analysis and commentary on aspects of urbanism, from auto-centric development in the US, to mega-cities in East Asia, and all forms of public transport, aesthetics, and architecture in between. The other part is broader education, with a special focus on the higher education sector globally. Often, College Towns offers articles that combine both aspects such as walking to school or dying college spaces.

Posts are made twice a week. Mondays are for full original analysis or commentaries. Fridays are for the Around the College Town links round-up posts. You can see the publication archives for the types of articles that I post.
